Are you kidding? The MSM trying to educated Americans on a relevant issue? You don't realize how ridiculous this sounds?

If they were, they would have simply stated that Trump had already disavowed David Duke before days before.

The fact of the matter is that ratings at CNN and similar are now ridiculously low and constant BS like this is why the vast majority of the USA no longer pays them any mind.

As distasteful as the kkk is, holding their rally or being a member is not against the law .... yet.
The point is that statements by Trump seem to be giving rise to these groups.

You mean when he played dumb to not knowing who David Duke is? He had no control of that? Anyone who has followed politics and American culture as long as he has knows who David Duke is for crying out loud. He even ran for president not so long ago. It shouldn't have taken him a whole news cycle to denounce the endorsement. Had he done so the first time he was asked there would have been no story but he used the endorsement to keep his name in the media longer.

I don't think a full fledged membership in the KKK by Trump would sway any of his worshipers.

A couple of Trump supporters claim to be well educated. How is that possible with the idiotic statements that come from his mouth?

I know Trump has all the answers, but come on. How in the world do rational thinking people believe this man can deal with Americas problems.

BTW, doesn't matter what Obama is doing or what Clinton or Bush or Reagan did we are talking about putting a actual clown in the White House.

Tapper is a scum bag for trying to make him perform a humiliating anti-white ritual. There's no reason for anyone to "disavow" David Duke, whose policy positions are far less racist than those of most people inclluding Clinton, Sanders, and Jake Tapper.

So you're fine with a candidate taking a full day to denounce an endorsement from the KKK and acting like a twit claiming he had no idea who David Duke is? Trump created the story, not the media, when he didn't denounce the endorsement the FIRST time he was asked about it. That's what made it a story in case I have to spell it out. No one has control of who endorses who but a candidate does have control over how they react. He dog whistled this one.

He knows what they are but every vote counts. The KKK are surely a pathetic bunch but hey they are entitled to their opinions as long as they don't break the law in any way or shape.


Believing you're superior is not illegal (but it is shameful). So any President should be ok for their free speech even though it's offensive. If he calls on the KKK, he will have to call on the Black Panther (also known for shady acts). I view all of us a human race where you have the smart, the stupid, the jerks, the moron, the dunce, the genius, the compassionate, the delusional, the extremist, the pacifist and the holier than thou categories. Sometimes you can mix more than one attribute to all of us.


I'm sure Trump knows the history of the KKK (if he claims he doesn't, he is lying and this is one thing that brings him closer to a politician.

So you were with him all along until this episode came up. I find it amusing that the people who never liked Trump are all of a sudden disappointed in him. They were on their way to the polling place to vote for him when they heard about this non-disavowal and had to turn back.

David Duke defends himself against the lying scumbag media.. He did NOT endorse Trump. I did not want to contribute further to this lousy thread but thought maybe this would put a nail in it... most likely not for the haters.. Eat it

(1.) How is denouncing the KKK a "humiliating anti-white ritual"?
(2.) Also, how did you manage to type this with your hood in your eyes?
